DOGWOOD BY THE END OF JANUARY

During the event, organized by IBL and McKinsey Academy and rated with five stars on meetup.com, Joel Barciauskas also announced that Open edX’s Dogwood version will be released by the end of January.

Dogwood will have as supported components the edx-platform, including its dependencies, Ora2 and Forums. The picture above, which is part of Joel’s presentation, reflects what’s new in Dogwood.

In addition, Dogwood will include these three components, which won’t be officially supported by edX:

  • Insights Analytics
  • Mobile applications (iOS and Android)

After Dogwood, the next release will be Eucalyptus, scheduled for March/April.
